It was most like a ghost had just grabbed hold of something within him, and momentarily, his mind was blanked save for the mental image of a writhing mass of black leeches which were more scolex than body. He shuddered a breath.

I've got Eddie pulling up things that it might have been, but..." He shook his head again and his brow furrowed deeper. He wasn't sure how long it would be before he was completely suffocated out of his own mind.
